Abstract

Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium are important nutritional elements contained in the fertilizers for plants but their presence in the soil could be easily wash out by rain water. Biochar, originated from rice husks with a high absorbance ability, might be able to be used to inhibit the release of those nutrients. This research aims to investigate the influence of biochar size and the HCl chemical activation. Biochar, which has been pyrolyzed, was ground and sieved to obtain powder with the size average equivalent to 0.2735 mm; 0.4485 mm; 0.725mm; and 0.925 mm. The optimized biochar size were opted for later being activated using HCl with a concentration of 3%; 9%; and 15%. The leaching process of fertilizer, aiming to imitate the rain water washing, was performed by pouring water on a daily basis on a sand column with the presence of biochar saturated with colorized fertilizer. The obtained solution were then characterized using Spectrophotometer. The results show that the estimated release time for the case with the absence of biochar is 36 days, in contrast to 55 days for the case with the presence of biochar.

Abstract

Aromatic compounds in industrial wastewater such as phenols can contribute as pollutants which are highly toxic and carcinogenic. Phenol degradation can be carried out by a photocatalytic process which can convert phenol into non-toxic and enviromentally friendly compounds. The performance of titania (TiO2) photocatalyst was enhanced by using carbon nanotube as a doping agent for titania. To reduce carbon nanotube agglomeration, the surface of carbon nanotube was modified with cocoPAS surfactant. The purpose of this study was to synthesize titania-carbon nanotube-cocoPAS composite and evaluated the effect of initial phenol concentration (10, 20, 30 ppm) on the phenol photodegradation effectivity using titania-carbon nanotube-cocoPAS composite. Titania-carbon nanotube-cocoPAS composite synthesis was carried out by forming a composite between TiO2 and carbon nanotube that had been modified by surfactant. Composite were characterized by SEM, FTIR, and XRD. Phenol photodegradation was carried out at a degradation temperature of 50ºC for 4 hours under UV light. Samples were drawn at regular intervals and residual concentration of phenol in each sample was analysed using UV-Visible spechtrophotometer. The highest degradation effectivity in 4 hours was 81% at initial phenol concentration of 10 ppm.

Abstract

Pemerintah Indonesia berusaha untuk menggurangi penggunaan bahan bakar fosil dengan mendorong adanya transisi ke sumber energi terbarukan. Bioetanol merupakan salah satu alternatif energi terbarukan yang mampu mengurangi penggunaan bensin di sektor transportasi. Bioetanol dapat diproduksi dari spirulina platensis residu (SPR) yang masih mengandung karbohidrat yang tinggi. Untuk memaksimalkan perolehan bioethanol diperlukan proses pretreatment yang sesuai untuk memecah dinding sel SPR sehingga diperoleh glukosa yang siap difermentasi. Pada penelitian ini dilakukan tiga metode pretreatment yaitu ultrasonikasi, autoclave dan enzimatis. Pretreatment dengan ultrasonikasi dilakukan dengan ultasonicator batch 40 kHz selama 30 menit dan menghasilkan glukosa sebesar 147,1154 mg/L. Sedangkan dengan autoclave pada suhu 121 oC selama 30 menit menghasilkan glukosa sebesar 21.15385 mg/L. Pretreatmen enzimatis dilakukan dengan menggunakan kombinasi enzim α-amylase dan amyloglucosidase (1:0; 0,75: 0,25; 0,5:0,5; 0,25:0,75 dan 0:1) pada suhu 40 oC selama 180 menit. Yield glukosa maksimum diperoleh pada pengguanaan enzim α-amylase: amyloglucosidase = 0,25:0,75 yaitu sebesar 33,15%.

Abstract

The sulfur content in coal ranges from 0.5 to 5%, and it is an impurity that must be removed before burning coal, due to the toxic effects and acid rain caused by SO2 gas generated from sulfur oxidation. Sulfur cleaning technology can be carried out on coal before combustion (pre-combustion), and can reduce the inorganic sulfur content by up to 50%; however, it cannot reduce the organic sulfur content. Therefore, the industry relies on post-combustion desulfurization to remove SO2 from the gas from coal combustion. The aim of the coal desulfurization review is to direct desulfurization research to be efficient and effective, as well as to be environmentally friendly. Sulfur in coal consists of organic sulfur and inorganic sulfur. Coal inorganic sulfur consists of pyrite (FeS2), sulfate, and sulfide. The largest composition is pyrite. Organic sulfur consists of hetero-atomic and heterocyclic (thiophenic) macromolecules that bind N and O atoms, aromatic sulfides, and aromatic disulfides (small amounts). Inorganic sulfur can easily be separated from coal by means of flotation, microwave energy, magnetic forces, ultrasonic energy, and as well as microorganisms. Meanwhile, organic sulfur cannot be separated from coal by using the methods used in the inorganic sulfur separation process. Organic sulfur can be removed by chemical and biodesulfurization, however, this process is inefficient for industrial scale. The most recommended method is the absorption of SO2 gas in the gas from coal combustion, or post-combustion desulfurization. Various methods have also been investigated to separate SO2 gas, and more details will be described in this paper.
